KUALA LUMPUR: Police arrested a 52-year-old man for allegedly threatening to kill a journalist for his reporting on the severe action of the police in fighting crime.
Sentul ACP Police Chief Beh Eng Lai said the man who threatened the journalist through a phone call was arrested on January 5, after the journalist submitted a report on December 28.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that the man is the father of one of the four suspects who was shot and killed by a police officer in Sungai Buloh on December 25 last month,” it said in a statement today.
The controls found that the suspect, a PwD cardholder with a mental condition, has no prior criminal record and the case is being investigated under Section 507 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.
The suspect was released yesterday on police bail.
On December 25, the police shot dead four men, believed to have been involved in a robbery at a house in Rawang near here, while trying to escape.
They reportedly collided with a GrabFood motorcyclist and dragged her a few meters and when a suspect got out of the car armed with a machete, the police fired a few more shots killing all four suspects at the scene.
